I got a cold call on my mobile, which is registered with the TPS. It went straight to voicemail, where some robot voice told me to enter a code. When I rang them back using a hidden number, they claimed to be from Lloyds Bank’s Fraud Dept. Definitely stay well clear of these lot, really dodgy!

Just seen the post below about dealing with scam emails. Basically, if you send a report, one gets sent over to the NCSC, and another gets flagged to the email host. They actually do something about it, so don’t just ignore those scam emails. It really helps to report them!

Got a call but no voicemail or anything left behind.
Got a call from someone claiming to be Best Quotes. I checked the number on Google and saw this:
Best Quotes is basically just a lead-gen site – lots of dodgy websites use that kinda name just to collect personal info. It’s a cover for scammers, really.
Since they rang me out of nowhere, they’re actually breaking the UK rules against cold-calling about pensions. Scammers like these often pick vague, official-sound names like "Best Quotes", "Pension Review Team" or "Retirement Helpline", so they're hard to track down.
They promise a "free pension review" or a quote comparison but it's a trick to push you into moving your pension into high-risk or even bogus investments. So definitely don’t trust them!

Had a call I couldn't answer, but my phone flagged it as suspicious. Sounds like it's probably one of those scam calls like everyone else has mentioned.
The number popped up on my caller ID but I had no idea who it was, so I just didn’t pick up. They even rang my mobile, but didn’t bother leaving any message. You can draw your own conclusions from that!
I missed the call and it went straight to voicemail. The person on the other end ended the call right away. Later, I looked up the number and saw it had been flagged by W.C.M. before.

I got a message saying someone had refused a payment of £1390.99 to eBay and to call Natwest on +44 20 3896 8650. But I don’t even have an account with NatWest, so I just ignored and deleted it like others have mentioned.

I picked up thinking it was the hospital I was waiting to hear from. The voice was a woman, seemed like she was in a busy call centre, you could hear people chatting behind her. She said she was ringing about my car finance. I told her to take my number off their system, then she just cut me off. Have blocked the number now, can't stand these annoying calls.
Got a call from someone saying they were doing a local survey. Could hear her breathing funny on the line, like she was trying to hide her Indian accent or something. Weird vibe.
Got calls from some dodgy lot pretending they work for a phone company. Wouldn't answer after the first few times but they just keep ringing me from different numbers now. Proper annoying!
They keep calling me from all sorts of numbers, sayin they’re from a phone provider, but when I try to talk to them they just go quiet and hang up. Quite annoying!
Keeps ringing all the time but I don’t pick up since my phone flags it as 'Possible Scam'... They even try ringing again from another number, just tweaks the final four digits.
Got a call from a couple of numbers marked as scams, didn’t pick up. Can’t call them back either. No voicemail or anything left. Definitely felt like a hassle from some scammy people.
I just let it ring out, seemed like it might be one of those scams so I didn’t bother picking up.
Just got a voicemail about insulation, energy stuff, and something about drives? Not sure what that was all about.
Got a dodgy call claiming to be from Natwest, saying they'd stopped a payment of £1390.99 to ebay. Then they asked for not one, but TWO logins! Seriously, who falls for this stuff? Must think we’re all idiots or something.

SCAM ALERT. Got a call about some Home Maintenance stuff, just the same old nonsense. They kept pestering me for my info and said they’d knock £100 off the price. Thing is, I don’t even have a bill from them at the moment! After about five minutes of me not giving in, they finally hung up. Usually it’s people with broken English calling from abroad who just don’t seem to get what you’re saying or don’t stick around long. Their energy and understanding definitely isn’t what it used to be.

I was busy at the time and didn’t pick up since the number was unfamiliar, and I thought it might be a scam. Really appreciate you confirming what it was!
The number looked unfamiliar so I just let it ring out. They didn’t leave any clear message, which makes me think it was likely some sort of junk call.
Once more it's Belgacom calling. Anyone know how to put a stop to this?

Got a call from a number I didn't recognise, it rang a couple times then just stopped without leaving a voicemail. EE flagged it as probably a nuisance call, so I figured it was some sort of harassment and decided to block it.

Thought it was a scam and tried ringing back, but the number’s gone. Pretty clear it was just some pointless spam call.
Got a call but no message left, pretty sure it was just another bloody scammer.
Got a call from an unknown number, so I used an app to screen it. When I asked for details, they just hung up, so I figured it was a spam call. I’m on the TPS register, so this wasn’t supposed to happen. I’ve reported it to Ofcom by texting 7726 and blocked the number. If you want to take action, just text 'Call' and then the number to 7726.
